James Cauty "Splatter" @ The Aquarium, London

James Cauty’s “Splatter” Exhibition in London

Info from Slamxhype.com:

Ever wondered what Tom would have done to Jerry if he ever actually caught him? Well, UK artist James Cauty is currently hosting an exhibition till the 8th of November at The Aquarium Gallery in London that shows you just that. Dubbed the Damien Hirst inspired title ‘Splatter: the plausible impossibility of death in the minds of cartoon charcters” James Cauty has taken the comedic violence from these Warner Brother cartoons to the next level, in a visual depiction of the gruelsome acts that these characters will perform on their cartoon enemies. I’ve long been a fan of Tom & Jerry, and to see Jerry actually get caught and physically harmed (both 3-dimensionally and in cartoon) is certainly refreshing to say the least. (Considering the amount of close encounters and the indestructable nature of this little cartoon rat) Take a look at the images below courtesy of mashKulture

This is sooooo rad, and I really dig the idea that cartoons, although most of the time are cute, in real life if Tom did get a hold of Jerry...this kind of stuff would actually happen! There is no way I could ever see this show in person, because it is over the pond, but if it ever travels...count me in!
